Andy Everson | contemporary Northwest Coast Art
The beautiful Comox Valley is home to the internationally-renowned Canadian artist ANDY EVERSON. His gorgeous works reflect his drive to uphold the traditions of both the K'omoks and Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations.
Self-taught, he began drawing Northwest Coast art at an early age, Andy's first serious attempt wasn't until 1990 when he started designing and painting chilkat-style blankets for use in potlatch dancing. From these early self-taught lessons, he has tried to follow in the footsteps of his Kwakiutl relatives in creating bold and unique representations that remain rooted in the age-old traditions of his ancestors.
The ability to create and print most of his own work has allowed Andy to explore and express his ancestral artwork in a number of contemporary ways. (Website @ www.andyeverson.com)
